Whenever you discard a creature card, you may pay . If you do, create a tapped token that's a copy of that card, except it's a 4/4 black Zombie.
Cheat huge creatures into play as 4/4 Zombie copies by discarding them and paying , abusing their enter-the-battlefield triggers and abilities while ignoring their mana cost. You loot, rummage, and reanimate your way through the deck, flooding the board with copied bombs that win through value or sheer size.
Two-mana commander that converts any discarded creature into a body, turning loot effects into a combo engine
Copies keep abilities and ETBs, so discarding creatures with powerful enter triggers generates massive value
Esper colors give the best card draw, removal, tutors, and reanimation support
Discard-based 'cheating' dodges much of the cheat-into-play hate aimed at reanimation spells
Heavily commander-dependent; without Hashaton on the field the discard engine does nothing
Needs both discard outlets AND big payoff creatures in hand, leading to nonbo hands
Token copies are summoning-sick and the tax adds up across multiple activations
Vulnerable to graveyard hate and to board wipes that erase your token army
Loads the graveyard for backup reanimation when you can't pay Hashaton's cost.
Add free or repeatable discard outlets (Putrid Imp, Tortured Existence, Bone Miser) so you aren't reliant on one-shot rummaging, and pack the deck with high-impact ETB creatures worth copying. Tighten the mana with fast rocks and dual lands to consistently afford the tax twice a turn, and include protection like Heroic Intervention or counterspells to keep Hashaton and your token board alive through wipes.
